I met with Declan and Ashton at Schwaillers Apple Orchard for their fall portrait session. Filled with pumpkins, apples, farm animals, and two cute little boys, this portrait session was the epitome of fall. Of course, all of those things only make for distractions for bright colored fun-ness. Pumpkins were picked, apples were thrown, baby goats were fed, hay stacks being conquered and life was just happening. Needless to say, these are the reasons why I love my job….being a part of all the little amazements the world can offer.

As a surprise for her sister, my friend, Lindsay, had Dominic’s 6 months session taken in the park. Not at all interested in the camera, Dominic certainly found his surroundings to be much more interesting instead. How could he not? The grass was so green. The leaves scurrying on the ground. The light blinding his face. What was definitely for certain is how handsome Dominic’s face is. It’s so round and soft and delightful when he does smile and giggle. Lindsay is one lucky aunt to have this cutie pie around, as does his mother. It really was a treat to meet this little man and I hope to see more of him in the future!!

I met with Kate and Matt at Grand Park for Kate’s maternity session. She is six months along and looking absolutely beautiful. After speaking with Kate and her husband, Matt, it was clear that they are both super excited that their first child will be a boy! Even though Matt was a little shy for the camera, he was so great. Watching him be so attentive to his wife brings joy to my heart that their newborn son will be so loved and protected. Our session was a little chilly and drizzly that day but rain or shine, I always feel honored and privleged to be a part of someone’s new beginnings especially when it’s as special as a growing baby waiting to join the world.

Kate and Matt, I can’t wait to meet this little guy and congratulations to you both!!
